My bach party/shower weekend!! (sorry so long, but w/ lotsa PICS!!)

What a whirlwind weekend!

My bachelorette party- My girls did such an amazing job on saturday night. They put so much time, thought, and expense into this, and I SO appreciate it! I had a BLAST!!!! And they made me feel really special.

Best parts:
-They kept it all a TOTAL surprise!
-Personally delivered note in the AM getting me psyched for party!
-My apartment revamped with beautiful pink flowers, tea lights, ballons everywhere and my pretty lingerie line.
-They cooked me the most delicious dinner for me (sangria drinks, yummy penne vodka pasta, salad, tons of other munchies including penis cake, of coure).
-THE 'SLUMBER PARTY' was our pregame!!! . Check out www.slumberparties.com if you don't know what it is or haven't had one (adult toy/lingerie party). It was SO much fun, highly recommend doing this w/ your friends!!!!! We laughed our asses off (esp when she took out the 'heavy artillery' )! And it wasn't trashy or uncomfortable at all. You get to touch and taste a bunch of stuff. What a really different idea that I didn't see coming at all. 3 hours, tons of giggles, and $$$ later, we had a blast! haha
-Rooftop bar at Coyote afterwards was PERFECT!

Not so much:
-That veil I had to wear. Some may know from my prev posts that I HATE wearing a veil. It was flying all over my face. I felt like I was in a bug net. They're just not for me. This really made me feel good about my decision not to wear one on the big day! (JMO. All you guys look amazing w/ them. Just not my thing!)
-My shower was the day after, so I felt a little hellacious. haha But it was okay.
-Creepy dudes making weird comments.

My shower- Everyone did such an amazing job!!! I had such a nice relaxed afternoon.

Best parts:
It was a backyard shower at my grandmother's house. Weather was PERFECT. Everything was in our colors, blue and brown. Loved the lanterns. Butterflies incorporated (loved my canoli cream cake!!). Dean and Deluca chocolate bars favors they personalized. Shower games were so cute. One of my fav pics of me (dress up w/ packing stuff- to look like a wedding gown) incorporated into the day. My maid of honor blew it up and my mom framed it for me to have out at the wedding. Afterwards, we had all the kids playing out back together- my soon to be step son and all my niece and nephews.
